SUBLAMINA DENSA * Contains anchoring fibrils, anchoring plaques, elastic microfibrils (without elastin), and linkin . Anchoring Fibril :- * Primary constituent is type VII collagen; appears larger than anchoring filaments and emanates perpendicularly down from lamina densa into papillary dermis. * Connects lamina densa to anchoring plaques (type IV collagen) in dermal matrix . * Intercalation with banded collagen fibrils of papillary dermis: forms fan-shaped clumps.
